LoriAnn Murray

Co-author of The Rose Amongst the Thorns-- a memoir about my fiance, Nick's, life with his clinically depressed mother and how I fit into the equation when I came into the picture. It was quite the harrowing ride for a while, but I assure you, it has a very happy ending!

I am 44 years young, an avid cross-stitcher, brain tumor survivor, philatelist, and IT geek. I have two lil doggies whom I love with all my heart, and of course my English fiance, Nick, who is also a fellow writer and overall good egg. I have lived on 4 continents and traveled widely so I enjoy many different types of people and cultures.

I have been a writer since I can remember, but this is the first time I've written anything non-academically.
